=== Vershad ===
Before he was transformed into a koloss, Human was a [[skaa]] rebel known as Vershad. He was the leader of a rebellion in the southeast of the [[Final Empire]], in the same area where [[Clubs]] fought in his youth. Vershad lived in the desert outside the borders of the Final Empire, and crossed the border to raid outlying villages and steal supplies.{{wob ref|7707}}
 
His preferred methods involved converting the local skaa population to his side, and convince them to give him supplies. In return, he and his band would "raid" the village, only attacking the mansions of the [[noble|nobility]]. This allowed the skaa to get revenge against the nobility, as well as earning more supplies due to the assumption that their food stores had been raided as well.{{wob ref|7707}}
'''Human''' was a [[koloss]] that was created some time before the [[Lord Ruler|Lord Ruler's]] death. He was a relatively minor character in [[the Hero of Ages]], and had two small viewpoints in the final section of the book.
▲Human, when pushed, showed [[Vin]] how koloss were made, and served Vin to a very limited degree for a short time, although hating her by his own admission. He is also one of the koloss that discovers the empty [[atium]] cache in the [[kandra]] [[Homeland]] toward the conclusion of the book.
 
Vershad was a charismatic and intelligent skaa, managing even to keep his band alive when the [[Lord Ruler]] began to turn his attention to them. Eventually, however, the Lord Ruler sent a koloss army against Vershad and his men, with the aid of an [[Inquisitor]], who set an ambush as well as betraying the rebels. For their crimes, Vershad's men were slaughtered, and he himself was transformed into a koloss.{{wob ref|7707}}
== The Hero of Ages ==
Human's first appearance in The Hero of Ages was shortly after [[Elend]] and Vin exposed villagers to the [[mist|mists]] outside of [[Vetitan]] in order to inoculate them. He diffused Vin's assumption that all koloss were of a homogenous mentality - "just the same stupid beast repeated over and over", in her words - with his observations and remarks. This continues in following scenes with the two of them, where she discerns that he can use fair logic and somewhat keen observations. However, she is puzzled by Human's insistence that he ''is'' human.▼
 
As a koloss, Human retainedretains much of his intelligence and determination, which mademakes him a noticablynoticeably clever koloss at the time, with a decent sense of logic and working observational skills.{{wob ref|b|mb3|a|377707}}▼
Later, Human again insists that he is human, and expresses the desire for human things, such as a house. Vin attempts to explain that he can't, because human ways are not the same as koloss, saying that humans don't kill someone because they make them feel uncomfortable. Human observes that instead of killing each other, humans just use koloss to kill one another. ▼
 
=== Human ===
Vin questions Human about the mists, whether he and the other koloss fear them. He responds by stating that mist does not kill, thus it is nothing to fear, just like any other weather. But he continues his line of thought, and states that he hates the mists, because he can feel their hatred of him, and reckognises Vin feels the same; that the mists hate her. This is, of course, due to having [[hemalurgy|hemalurgic]] spikes, but niether of the two realise this at the time.▼

▲== Origin ==
Before he was spiked to become a koloss, Human was a [[skaa]] rebel known as Vershad.
He was the leader of a rebellion in the southeast of the [[Final Empire]], in the same area where [[Clubs]] fought in his youth.
Vershad lived in the desert outside the borders of the Final Empire, and crossed the border to raid outlying villages and steal supplies.
His preferred methods involved converting the local skaa population to his side, and convince them to give him supplies.
In return, he and his band would "raid" the village, only attacking the mansions of the [[noble|nobility]].
This allowed the skaa to get revenge against the nobility, as well as earning more supplies due to the assumption that their food stores had been raided as well.
